ABC - Favorite Buttermilk Cake

This month's challenge for the ABC-ers is Flo Braker's "Favorite Buttermilk Cake". It's a butter-based cake with buttermilk for a little tang. I also added some orange zest to the batter to perk up the cake's flavor. As for the filling and frosting, we were free to choose whatever we like. I decided to go the simple route and dress it up with some macerated strawberries.

Final thoughts/tips:

Hubby liked it a lot, stating that the cake is moist, soft, with great flavor. His rating: 9 out of 10. I liked it a lot too, even though the crumb is a bit on the coarse side (visually, that is, not when you eat it).

Looks yummy Hanaa! I was thinking berries would be good, too. I never would have thought about adding the orange zest. Great idea! I made La Bomba yesterday and have to lacquer it today. I'll do this cake tomorrow. I'm sure it will be refreshing after all the chocolate.
